Browne Joined the Panthers as a Graduate Transfer in January
PITTSBURGH—Pitt's Max Browne has been named a preseason candidate for the Johnny Unitas Golden Arm Award, annually presented to the top senior or fourth-year junior quarterback in college football.
Browne (Sammamish, Wash./Skyline), who joined the Panthers in January as a graduate transfer from Southern Cal, is one of 47 quarterbacks on the watch list. The winner of the Golden Arm Award is selected based on accomplishments both on and off the field. Candidates must be a collegiate senior or fourth-year junior on schedule to graduate with their class.
Although a newcomer to Pitt, Browne is the most seasoned candidate vying for the Panthers' starting quarterback job. In three active seasons at USC (2014-16), he played in 18 games and completed 69-of-112 passes (62%) for 650 yards with two touchdowns and two interceptions.
A former five-star recruit, Browne opened the 2016 season as the Trojans' primary signal caller. He appeared in nine total games, starting the initial three contests, and completed 58-of-93 passes (62%) for 507 yards with two TDs and two INTs.
Browne is enrolled in Pitt's Katz Graduate School of Business.
